I'm not drinking any Protein shakes/drinks. I'm suspecting I might be starting to be lactose intolerant or I have reaction to tuna. I eat tuna about 5x a week. Today i'm cutting all dairy to test how I feel....hopefully its just some food intolerance that I can cut from my diet....tought I might have been band related but i'm now starting to think it might be food related

Hello all, i'm one year post-op and having severe gas after each meal. I follow rules, eat healthy and usually never go over my cup of food that was suggested by my doctor but every time I eat, about 10-15 minutes after i'm done, I get severe gas that last for the most part of the day. Do any of you have this?? any suggestions or ways to help? And by gas I mean flatulence ( :-) ) and severe bloating. Tummy aches related to the gas etc... thank you

Physically you will probably be fine but the problem is that 30 days post op you will probably still be in your mushies stage. That would be the hardest part in my opinion...

The first 3-4 days were the hardest for me. After that, my body got used to being hungry and my stomach stopped growling. And not to long after that, I REALLY realized how addicted I was to food/eating. Since then, i’ve had no issues with hunger. I think a big part of it, is in your head (like any other addiction), and just a small part is really your body NEEDING food to survive.

I was exactly like you, red all the horror stories, said to myself "what if" this and that. I was almost getting cold feet way up untill the morning of the surgery, I was super nervous, went on the internet a million times to find as much information as I could red about all the problems etc..THEN I finally convinced myself that I had to go through with it or I would regret it later on, I couldn't change my mind now, that would have been absolutely stupid after all the waiting and the dieting (3years total)...Then, I got my surgery on March 25th. Have not had 1 issue so far. No pain, no infection, i'm not throwing up, no upset stomach NOTHING! The only thing I had was a lot of lower belly gas (which came out like crazy for a whole week), but i'm fine now. And things are going GREAT. Could not be happier with myself and the surgery. And for all that time I was stressing like crazy....The only thing I would say I if you decide to do it, dont change your mind, dont let people get into your head, stop browsing on internet and just go one day at a time untill surgery....go with a clear mind :-) -Good luck with your journey

OMG, just noticed you had responded here!! Sorry I didn't see it before :-)

Yay!!

i'm on day 3 and the gas is 80% gone...what a relief!!
